They can if they stop going out of their way to make hits and play sound fundamental hockey. They were lazy. Marchand played well and Krejci looked faster than normal but... everyone else was subpar at best.

Sure.. Last time I looked you still had to win 4 games to complete the series..

Having said that tonite's game was disheartening in the fact that the Bruins coaching staff has not made the proper adjustments to counter Montreal's strong forecheck and superb positional play that are thwarting the Bruins from creating any offense, and from putting pressure on Montreal's D.

4th line for the Bruins has been rendered useless.. has created no energy for the team like they have all season.. that is disappointing, especially at home.. No one on this team is paying the price to compete.. Montreal's compete level is so much better than the Bruins, and that is why they are up in the series..

On a good note, if the B's lose this series, then I don't think it will take a genius to figure out that Julien's days will be numbered..and that's not a bad thing...

cowboy,Fire burns and will always burn , if (the coaching staff) doesn't have water to put put the fire it'll continue to burn.I knew about this fire before the series started. Bruins are not equiped to beat this team (no water) in a series. You could have Scotty Bowman behind the bench and wouod be the same thing.I also did say that Julien would get fired !

Legion, if Scotty Bowman was coaching this team it would be over in 4 .. Julien is not equipped well enough for ingame adjustments when the Bruins fall behind.. we have seen it since he has been here.. Roll out the four lines , no matter what..Scotty was a superb in game tactician , what matchups would work in his favour , and knew what buttons to press with guys and get the most out of them. Unfortunately Julien is not up to par..
